Several years ago, I was an avid reader. I loved to read because it felt like a movie going on in my head. I could imagine the characters with my own imagination. I could take a break from the things of life. With my college work load, I have neglected books. Now I realize that I really need to get back into reading. I spend way too much time on my phone. So I am excited to start reading again. These 4 books are some of the books I want to read ASAP!

1. "Girl, Wash Your Face" by Rachel Hollis

When I first heard of this book, I was so confused by the title. It is so random. However, I now follow Rachel Hollis on Instagram which made me even more intrigued with her book. This book is meant to debunk the lies we tell ourselves every day. Rachel seems like a really cool person. I know that her book is going to be truthful and transparent while being extremely funny.

2. "Gmorning, Gnight: Little Pep Talks for Me and You" by Lin-Manuel Miranda 

If you know me, you know I love Lin. He tweets daily with words of encouragement in the morning and at night. He decided to put some of these tweets into book form so that people can read them whenever they need them. I love inspirational words and quotes, so this book is right up my alley. It is also illustrated in the cutest way possible.

3. "You are a Bad***" by Jen Sincero 

I have wondered about this book for a while now. I have never had enough confidence and security in myself. I've gotten better over the years, but I'm hoping that reading this book would help me out. I've seen several people post about it lately, and I'm ready to read it!

4. "Uninvited: Living Loved When You Feel Less Than, Left Out, and Lonely" by Lysa TerKeurst 

This, I believe, is more of a devotional. I have used the same devotional for over a year; I never really clicked with it. I am on the hunt for a great book that will help bring me closer to God. I easily feel left out, so once I read the title of this book, I knew it would be perfect for me. I have heard a lot about Lysa Terkeurst, and I am excited to hear what she has to say!

I hope that reading this gave you some suggestions for the next time you go to the book store. I am excited to cross all these books off of my list.

I've been super busy lately with school work, studying, etc. Besides the fact that I do nothing but AP chemistry and AP economics, I constantly think of stupid questions that are almost impossible to answer. So, maybe you could answer them for me, and if not then we can both wonder what the answers to these 15 questions could be.

To My Loving Boyfriend,

  • Thank you for all that you do for me
  • Thank you for working through disagreements with me
  • Thank you for always supporting me
  • I appreciate you more than words can express
  • You have helped me grow and become a better person
  • I can't wait to see where life takes us next
  • I promise to cherish every moment with you
  • Thank you for being my best friend and confidante
  • I love you and everything you do

To start off, here's something I don't say nearly enough: thank you. Thank you, thank you, thank you from the bottom of my heart. You do so much for me that I can't even put into words how much I appreciate everything you do - and have done - for me over the course of our relationship so far. While every couple has their fair share of tiffs and disagreements, thank you for getting through all of them with me and making us a better couple at the other end. With any argument, we don't just throw in the towel and say we're done, but we work towards a solution that puts us in a greater place each day. Thank you for always working with me and never giving up on us.

Ah, yes, good old Hauppauge. We are that town in the dead center of Long Island that barely anyone knows how to pronounce unless they're from the town itself or live in a nearby area. Hauppauge is home to people of all kinds. We always have new families joining the community but honestly, the majority of the town is filled with people who never leave (high school alumni) and elders who have raised their kids here. Around the town, there are some just some landmarks and places that only the people of Hauppauge will ever understand the importance or even the annoyance of.
